Forbidden Arcana: Morgana

by Tamryn Tamer

  “You’re not just a gambler! You’re also a loan shark,” Jericho laughed. “Okay, I’m going to need you to run through the terms of these deals with my treasurer. So, none of these souls I’m holding onto other than the priestesses are good people?”

  “As I was saying,” Eberis smiled roguishly. “Good is really relative. Like Madam Lily. Technically she does own a brothel and engages in some nefarious behavior but on the other hand, she does a lot for the community. She doesn’t deserve to die and our arrangement as it sits really just that I get special accommodations whenever I’m in town. She even once gave a prince the boot to accommodate me. Some might say she’s a bad person but she’s good to me. I am more comfortable saying that I wouldn’t classify anybody in the pile as bad.”

  “Fair enough,” Jericho said while handing back all of the soul marbles. “Raven gets all of the ones related to money. You can keep the ones that are based on special arrangements. As for the priestesses, they can choose who they want to hold onto their souls.”

  “Hm,” Cecilia huddled up with the priestesses and began discussing their options. After a short deliberation, the huddle broke and Cecilia smiled. “We’ve decided that we will decide after we see the new living arrangements. We’ve become accustomed to a certain lifestyle and want to ensure we’re well provided for.”

  “Seriously?” Talia pulled her mouth off Morgana’s just long enough to respond. “You god damned gold diggers…”

  “Speaking of living arrangements,” Eberis grinned at Jericho. “Will I be living with you?”

  “Ha!” Jinx laughed. “No! Our house is women only! Imbecile! Halfwit!”

  “What she said,” Jericho smiled.

  “I can respect that,” Eberis nodded.

  “Don’t worry!” Ariel said while pulling out the map of Dayrose she’d been drawing on. “I think we can fit a small shrine!”

  “Let me see that,” Eberis and the priestesses looked at the spot marked off which was about the size of a small house. “That’s not going to do at all.”

  “Eberis,” Cecilia smiled politely at the disgruntled god. “As much as we appreciate everything you’ve done for us, if that’s where you expect us to live, I believe we’ll be going with Jericho.”

  “Like hell,” Eberis said while pulling a pen from his pocket and began marking up the city. “What a poorly planned city. It’s like the person just wanted to add things for the sake of adding them. Why the hell is the lumber mill and warehouse so far away from the waterways? Waterways can be used for more than irrigation! They also provide cheap energy efficient transportation. And this irrigation system is ridiculously outdated. The market area isn’t too bad but it’s so far away from the main portal of the city. And where’s the entertainment district? Is this even a city? It’s like somebody had a village and just started adding things they thought they needed.”

  “That’s exactly what we did!” Ariel said proudly. “Cynthia broke out her development plan into multiple phases based on what we needed and when so we couldn’t plan it all at once.”

  “You’re joking,” Eberis’ face contorted in disgust. He turned to Jericho, “She’s joking right?”

  “Afraid not,” Jericho said. “Cynthia’s more of a politician than an architect.”

  “What about you?” Eberis looked furious. “You signed off on this?”

  “It’s not a bad design,” Jericho said. In truth, it wasn’t. It was much better designed than Kar Mograth ever was and Rend was a complete nightmare. Dawn was arguably one of the most confusing cities on the continent with its multi-level structure and walls everywhere. Dayrose at least made sense. “There are worse cities.”

  “I’m aware,” Eberis hissed while marking up the map. “It’s as if every country just adds a new district whenever they need one without ever thinking of how they’ll expand later.”

  “That’s actually exactly how cities are made,” Jericho chuckled. “You add on when you need to and do your best to take into account the current structures.”

  “God,” Eberis finished marking things up and handed the modified blueprints to Jericho. “These are what blueprints should look like.”

  “Holy shit,” Jericho said looking over the modified blueprints. Not only had Eberis found room for his temple but he’d nearly doubled the livable space while somehow increasing the green space. He’d eliminated the confusing network of bridges for a giant circular multi-level pathway system. “God of gamblers, more like god of city planning.”

  “Let me see!” Ariel grabbed the map excitedly. “Oh my god! Oh my god! Wait, how are we going to afford this? Doing all of this will cost a lot.”

  “Treasury,” Morgana pointed at the floor while grinding on Talia’s knee. “Downstairs.”

  “Treasury?” Jinx’s eyes lit up as she stared at the priestesses. “Show me! Whores! Harlots!”

  “Well,” Jericho smiled as he stared at Talia mauling Morgana in front of everybody. “Today is certainly looking up.”

  “For you maybe,” Eberis sighed.

  A Special Surprise

  When Jericho arrived in Dayrose, Eberis quickly went to work not only removing the spatial barrier and establishing one of his own. Jericho was actually a bit shocked by how many restrictions Eberis could actually place. He was able to go so far as to not only restrict any form of physical violence but also theft or even cheating at a game. Jericho just had him use the nonfatal violence model that other cities operated under. They could always tweak rules later.

  He was also surprised by how packed the city was. He imagined closing off access to the city would result in it turning into a ghost town but instead the city was completely packed. It turned out Grim and their allied guilds were staking out various hubs and attacking any players associated with Sin, Tiamat, or Endgame making most of the continent dangerous for them. Even people loosely associated with Jericho were being targeted.

  “That’s a lot of fucking gold,” Raven said as the hundredth cart came rolling through from the temple portal. “And it’s not even counting the large gems Jinx keeps stealing.”

  “They are payment for services rendered!” Jinx yelled as she sifted through a pile of treasure for precious gems. “I was the one that beat him! Slut! Whore!”

  “And is he always going to be like that?” Terra asked as Eberis sulked while his treasure was dragged into the vault beneath Jericho’s keep. “He just keeps moping.”

  “He lost his soul, his temple, and his treasure all in a day,” Jericho said. “I think he’s taking it surprisingly well.”

  “At least his priestesses seem to be trying to cheer him up,” Terra chuckled as the lewdly dressed women cuddled up next to him. “They moving in with us?”

  “Not sure yet,” Jericho answered. “It really depends on if Raven signs off on the temple since she’s in charge of financials.”

  “Do you really think we should be doing a massive overhaul of the city instead of spending this money on troops?” Raven asked. “This is why you’re always broke you know.”

  “Eberis should get his temple,” Jericho said assertively. “You saw his blueprints. They’re brilliant and over time the better flow will help manufacturing and turn Dayrose into a trading hub that rivals Dawn. It’d be short-sighted not to implement them immediately. And that’s not the only reason, you should have saw him playing Strife.”

  “What’s that stupid card game have to do with anything?” Raven asked while looking over the plans for the tenth time. “I have to admit, they are brilliant plans.”

  “His talent for design isn’t limited to city planning,” Jericho grinned. “If we give him a map of the region, he’ll be able to design more than a city. He’ll be able to design an empire.”

  “And Plague was worried about me acquiring too much power,” Raven scoffed. “Okay, he’ll get his temple. If for no other reason than having a god in this city will draw players here.”

  “Good,” Jericho smile
d as the last cart of treasure came up the trail. “Now, I have somewhere else to be.”

  “Oh yeah! Have yourself a break! We’ll take care of everything here!” Terra said sarcastically as Jericho walked inside. “Take as long as you need!”

  “I think I will,” Jericho laughed. “I’ve earned it.”

  Talia and Morgana were supposedly arranging a special surprise for him in exchange for everything he’d done. The two ran off as soon as they arrived back in Dayrose and told him to meet them in the bedroom as soon as he finished with things on the ground. So naturally, he finished everything as quickly as humanly possible.

  “Wait you bastard!” Jinx rushed after him with her arms full of treasure. She pushed him aside and rushed past up the stairs. “Hold on! You can’t go up yet! Give us a minute! Lecher! Pervert!”

  “Us?” Jericho suddenly realized that all of the familiars had in fact been acting suspiciously ever since their arrival back at the manor. While Jericho was running around working on making sure everything was set up not a single one of them could be found except for Jinx who seemed attached at his hip. He just figured she was waiting for the treasure to be carted in but suddenly he had the feeling she was the lookout. “What’s going on?”

  “Just wait a minute and then you can come upstairs! Degenerate! Dunce!” Jinx yelled as she rushed out of sight.

  It seemed that they’d put a lot of work into their surprise so he wasn’t going to risk ruining it. He went ahead and gave Jinx her minute before taking his time walking up to his room.

  “Surprise!” All eight of his familiars shouted simultaneously as he entered the penthouse. “Cheater! Rake!” Jinx added.

  Jericho wished he had something to say but he was completely at a loss for words. Every one of his familiars was wearing white bridal style lingerie complete with white stockings and high heels. As he silently scanned the room, he realized that despite the similarities each piece of lingerie was in fact custom tailored to the familiar’s specifications.

  Jinx wore a white lace thong with a front that dipped so low it barely covered her clit coupled with a bralette. The lace set ensured that Jericho could admire the sexy pale tigress stripes covering her tan athletic body.

  Ariel was dressed in a traditional lace bodysuit with an extremely low cut. Despite being a bodysuit from the front her back was completely open to leave room for her wings. Additionally, the panty portion had a heart-shaped opening right on her petite ass.

  Mirage had gone surprisingly traditional with white lace panties, a garter belt, and a fairly provocative lace bra that barely held her massive chest. He quickly realized it was less traditional than he thought as Mirage slid her hand down her body and flashed him the crotchless portion of her panties.

  Theia’s outfit was similar to Ariel’s in order to make room for her angelic wings. The major difference was her ability to fill it out was much better. Additionally, she didn’t have the heart shaped opening on her ass, instead she had it right above her pussy.

  Sable had opted for something altogether different from the rest, a chemise. He could see both her beautiful pink pussy and her hard nipples through the transparent dress. Not that it mattered because the bloodred lipstick and the black outlines around her eyes got all of his attention.

  Luna’s was surprisingly elegant given her utilitarian tastes. She wore a beltless transparent lace robe that she left open. Jericho’s eyes scanned right down the middle to her trimmed blue bush and pink pussy.

  Both Talia and Morgana dressed as a pair. They wore tight corsets that showcased their breasts while bringing in their waists. They also wore garters and matching white lace thongs ensuring their beautiful plump asses were exposed.

  “What do you think of Talia’s hourglass figure?” Morgana asked knowing exactly what she was doing as both Jericho and Talia started laughing. “God, I missed that little quirk.”

  “Stop it!” Talia shoved Morgana playfully. “We’re supposed to wait for him to respond.”

  “We would have been waiting all night,” Luna grinned playfully. “Look at him! He’s speechless.”

  “His cock is saying plenty,” Mirage bit her finger as she stared at Jericho’s pants. “How do we look darling?”

  “Do I look cute?” Ariel spun to show off the well-placed heart on her backside.

  “Well say something already! Moron! Nitwit!” Jinx snapped.

  “Wow,” Jericho managed to mumble out as the familiars attempted to talk over each other and showcase each feature of their lingerie. He tried to keep up with them but outside of wanting to just bury himself in every one of them, only one other thought really crossed his mind, “Why?”

  “Why?” Sable glared at him. “Really?”

  “We also said wow,” Theia smiled politely.

  “Morgana had kept our bridal lingerie,” Talia chuckled. “We intended to wear it for you. Jinx and Ariel saw it and one thing led to another and here we are.”

  “So,” Morgana turned her ass toward Jericho and bent over. He bit his lip as the lips of her pussy popped out from behind her thong. “Do you like it?”

  “Fuck,” Jericho’s had to unbuckle his pants. The amount of force his cock was exerting against the leg of his trousers was downright painful. He slipped them off along with his other clothing leaving himself completely exposed to the women. “Yeah, I like it.”

  “Then what are you waiting for?” Sable teased.

  “When did you find time for this?” Jericho said trying not to laugh at his phrasing. Talia immediately mirrored his chuckle. “Goddammit.”

  “You are so cute,” Morgana growled while forcefully pushing Talia down onto the bed and taking her. She buried her face between Talia’s perky breasts while running her fingers up and down her body, “I love you.”

  “Talia pulled Ocho, Huit, and Acht into her time flow to do some sewing,” Luna answered. “It didn’t take them long to finish everything after we gave them out designs.”

  “God you’re all so beautiful,” Jericho said in awe of the sea of white waiting for him on the bed. “I don’t even know where to start.”

  “Then I’ll start for you,” Jinx growled while jumping off the bed. She grabbed his cock and practically dragged him to the other women before dropping to her knees. She immediately yanked Ariel to the floor with her. “You help insect. Bug. Flea.”

  “Okay,” Ariel blushed and started sucking on the tip of Jericho’s cock while Jinx lapped at his balls.

  “I’ll help as well,” Theia said eager to serve. The silver-haired Seraph dropped down and began licking the right side of Jericho’s cock as Jinx took his left and Arial masterfully sucked the tip.

  “Fuck,” Jericho moaned as their soft tongues explored every inch of this thick cock. Ariel’s dexterous tongue rapidly slid under and around the head of his cock while Jinx and Theia were practically kissing each other as they worked the sides of the shaft. He reached down and grabbed both Jinx and Theia’s had and began guiding them up and down his cock.

  “Mmm,” Mirage spread her legs behind the three familiars sucking him and started playing with herself for him. The buxom shapeshifter thrust her fingers right between the slit of her crotchless panties and began thrusting. She hooked her fingers and slowly pulled out showcasing how wet she was for him before bringing her fingers to her mouth. “I want you so much darling.”

  “You’re such a slut,” Luna laughed while wrapping her arms around Mirage. The blue-haired Ethereal guided Mirage’s hand to her exposed pussy while Luna placed her hand in Mirage’s dripping cunt. “Now taste me too.”

  Jericho bit his lip so hard he thought he might draw blood as Mirage and Luna proceeded to explore each other. The two dipped their fingers in each other like they were digging for treasure before pulling out to lap up whatever they found. Luna held her fingers over her mouth as Mirage’s juices dripped onto her tongue and Jericho couldn’t look away.

  “Fuck,” Jericho moaned as he felt Ariel suddenly take him to
the base. He looked down to see Jinx holding Ariel’s head down as the petite fairy looked up at him like she might explode if Jinx didn’t release her. Jinx stared at Jericho to remind him that she wanted the attention. “Jinx, be nice.”

  “It’s fine,” Ariel gasped for air as Jinx released her. She grabbed Jinx and pulled her head toward the tip of Jericho’s cock and after Jinx took the tip in her mouth Ariel thrust Jinx’s head down. “We’re taking turns.”

  “Holy…” Jericho’s voice trailed off as Jinx’s throat tightened on his cock like she was actively trying to swallow it. No, it wasn’t like she was actively trying to swallow it, she actually was trying to swallow it. Her throat mercilessly pulled on him like a finger trap refusing to let go. He placed one of his hands against a bedpost and the other on Theia’s head to keep balance. “…holy fuck.”

  “Mfm,” Jinx growled causing her throat to vibrate on his cock increasing his pleasure. Her golden eyes were practically on fire as she stared at him refusing to let go. She intended to suck every bit of cum from him by force even if it killed her.

  “Jinx,” Ariel reached around Jinx and thrust her fingers in the spectral beast’s pussy. She started playing with it while using her other free hand to reach beneath Jinx’s bralette and play with a breast. “You’re supposed to be sharing.”

  “Master,” Theia kissed his thigh while gradually moving behind him. Her lips moved from his hips to his ass and finally he felt Theia’s wet soft tongue on his asshole as Jinx’s throat relentlessly massaged his cock. “Do you like this?”

  “Don’t make me answer that,” Jericho’s heart was pounding so hard he thought it might explode. He glanced back at Mirage and Luna to see both of their faces covered in each other’s fluids with no sign of slowing down. He couldn’t handle it anymore as Theia’s tongue sent an electric jolt through him causing his entire body to tense as he started to cum. He almost fell down as he started pumping cum into Jinx’s throat. “Fuck.”
